There are so many adverts for shoes for people with foot neuropathy, you could spend a fortune on them and perhaps never find anything that is comfortable.
I would be grateful of any recommendations for casual shoes / trainers that are good.
Thanks

I find Sketchers are good but I would advise always trying on before buying as I have been caught out by on line purchases. Those in the Scholl or Shuropody shops are OK as they can advise on suitability.

I like Sainsbury’s trainers , mine cost £14 and far more comfy for me than the diabetic shoes sold to me in my local podiatrist.
 
It’s tricky to find a shoe shop that tries to help you with ‘fit’ rather than just selling you whichever ones you like the look of!

There used to be specialist running-shoe shops that would offer the option of you walking / running on a treadmill with a camera to film your gait, and how your feet move in different shoes - and the sorts of support that might be more suitable for you. I’m not sure if there’s anywhere like that near you? Or if it would help?

There’s a specialist place like that near me that does that but you have to sign up and for their entire services to be able to do that. It’s actually a good place but really expensive.
